(Kids’ Corner – Alexandria)

A fantastic adventure for all young sleuths out there. The idea behind these books is that the reader accompanies the main character on his quest and at the foot of every 2nd page is a question that can be answered by examining the wonderfully illustrated pages that are packed with detail. The answer to the question or puzzle will move the story forward and ultimately solve the mystery of Blood Castle. The puzzles range from code-breaking to mazes to tests of memory that may mean a bit of flicking back through the book
